Ruminations on Worry: Issues Related to the Study of an Elusive Construct
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 10:45 authored by Davis, M, Montgomery, IMThis review outlines the main theoretical and methodological issues relating to worry. The relationship of worry to anxiety and problem solving is discussed. Three models of worry are described: attention bias (Mathews, 1990), fear avoidance (Borkovec, Shadick, and Hopkins, 1991), and Tallis and Eysenck's (1994) stage model. Worry's proposed role in inhibiting emotional processing is discussed, and unresolved methodological and theoretical issues are considered. It is concluded that worry is elusive and difficult to study but greater understanding of worry is necessary.
